Pumpkinseeds Add Punch

Pumpkinseeds, or pepitas, are a popular ingredient in Mexican cooking. You can buy them in a variety of forms; salted, unsalted, roasted, raw, with or without hulls. With the white hull removed, they are medium-dark green and have a delicious flavor.

Look for pumpkinseeds in health food stores, Mexican markets, and supermarkets. Then top our Chipotle-Corn Chili with a handful of these seeds to enhance its already robust taste. The chipotle salsa also adds a smoky, sweet flavor to the chili, but you can use any type of chunky salsa.

Eating healthy should still be delicious.
